Dear Tom and all Beefriends

It's strange to read such evaluation for a beekeeper as if you keep the bees
in your own flat :)

I have two neighbours very close to my four hives kept in a country garden.
When taking off honey my ladies are angry and sting them. But usually I
apologize an offended person and give a piece of comb honey. I had no a
serious problem yet.

When my some acquaintance learns I'm a beekeeper usually I hear "Oh, fine".
The bees generally are respected here.
